Wheat-based diets: effect of short-term consumption on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in infants
W C MacLean Jr et al. Am J Dis Child. 1977 Oct.
Abstract
The effect of consumption of wheat-based diets on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels was studied in eight previously malnourished children. While consuming a control diet of casein, soy-cottonseed oil blend, and a mixture of sucrose and starch, the serum cholesterol level was 169 +/- 42 mg/dl (mean +/- SD). This decreased significantly (P less than .001) to 108 +/- 30 mg/dl after nine days' consumption of an isoenergetic-isonitrogenous diet in which whole wheat or white flour provided all the protein and +/- 50% of carbohydrate, and remained at this level for the 27-day dietary period. On changing again to the casein-based diet, the serum cholesterol level rose within nine days to 154 +/- 42 mg/dl. There was no similar diet-related change in serum triglyceride values. None of the known mechanisms whereby diet affects serum cholesterol adequately explains these findings.
